Gears of War - Dan Bull

Emergence day emergency, thunder sounded

And a hundred thousand locust rose up from underground

The invasion managed to create a manic state of panic

They did damage and it made a devestated planet

Today was savage, the latest in a spate of clashes

Between invader and remains of man that came from ashes

See Marcus Fenix in Jacinto penitentiary

Dominic Santiago enters then he sets him free

To defend against the horde he brought all sorts of awesome weaponry

Bring all your forces forward, your corpser’s dead to me

Him and Dom find Kim and Carmine and together they took

A look around for Alpha Squad to get the resonator

A sniper snipes Carmine right in the head and later

They catch the Cole Train and press on the accelerator

Seeders block the transmission, nearly stopped the damn mission

Is that the Hammer of Dawn that Dom is brandishing?

Every soldier’s ambition is to fire one, a line of lightning

Striking right in from the sky, you’re gone

Look, there’s Baird and a couple of redshirts, hmm

I wonder which one of them will be dead first?

It can’t be Kim, can it?

that man’s put in the legwork

Ooh, feckin' heck, I bet his bloody head hurt!

Now Fenix has seen this and he’s pissed in extremist

But needs to just retreat quick lest he gets in deep shit

It’s certainly evident he is ready to burn an effigy

But there is a mercenary berzerker lurking in the murk of every turn you step in

One of the perks of military work is getting to murder every enemy ever so

cleverly

With the heaviest weaponry

BOOM!

HOOAH!

We are the Gears of War

Come on and ask us what the motherfuck we’re here for!

BOOM!

HOOAH!

We are the Gears of War

Come on and ask us what the motherfuck we’re here for!

As the planet plummets ever further into instability

The Gears receive a missive of massive responsibility

To take the resonator, in the face of all futility

And place it in the lethiaimulsion facility

Their aim is to make it to the makeshift bunker

The place where the stranded stay and take this junker

The stranded Franklin says that they can take the tank

But in exchange Cole and Baird must stay to aid the camp

So Dom and Marcus then head off into the darkness

They’ll probably end up carcasses, but soldier on regardless

They watch the light and dodge the night using skill

Co-op, cunning and guile style to fight through the kryll

This type of thing takes balls, call it castration

Finally they make it through the horde toward the gas station

It’s not quite right the way they use the spotlight

Nah, that kind of ingenuity is fricking godlike

Turning the torch on them, burning and scorching them

Arriving at the fort in time to support the slaughtering

Shoot the guys that aren’t human, target neutralised

This brutal life will leave your psyche scarred and brutalised

BOOM!

HOOAH!

We are the Gears of War

Come on and ask us what the motherfuck we’re here for!

BOOM!

HOOAH!

We are the Gears of War

Come on and ask us what the motherfuck we’re here for!

With the mining facility in literal proximity

Their ride begins to give off signs of critical toxicity

It’s like a syzygy between their fate and electricity

They’re lucky the place has pedestrian accessibility

This utility is a subterranean fortress

So they fought hordes til they’re deader than this corpser’s corpse is

If it’s the belly of the beast, the neck’s an elevator

It’ll need some rennie when they detonate the resonator

The situation’s escelating so they’d better get away

The locust horde are gonna have to call a decorator

Ready to let it blow, they can clear the mess up later

But computer says «no, I couldn’t get the data»

It’s late in the day to call up technical support

But they’ve already put in far too much effort to abort

But thankfully Baird appears to be somewhat prepared

He found a map and plus just happens to have got it there

He’s a proper COG, look at his goggles, hair, and general masculinity

That should be bottled, yeah

There’d be romance between us if he never had a penis

And anyway, his sights are set on finding Adam Fenix

One of the staff of the east barricade academy is-

As well as being Marcus’s dad- an apparent genius

So they start for his lab with only half of the manpower they had

These COGs have gotta be mad

BOOM!

HOOAH!

We are the Gears of War

Come on and ask us what the motherfuck we’re here for!

BOOM!

HOOAH!

We are the Gears of War

Come on and ask us what the motherfuck we’re here for!

Humanity’s panicking there’s nobody left to save them

But wait — the COGs are dropping from the sky inside a raven

The finest specimens of homosapiens anatomy

Collectively heading to the east barricade academy

Their aim’s to get rid of an alien supremacist

Go back to genesis but — hang on, there’s a.

nemacyst

It’s gone and shot them with spores, the chopper is lost

The situation’s getting proper debauched

It started bad enough but now it’s snowballed

They have to battle their way back into the mansion like Toad Hall

Which is a load more difficult than ABC

But luckily they see an APC, but it’s DOA, see?

This is just their luck, so Baird and Cole get to business fixing up their truck

They need to bolt quick, as if they bust a nut and blustered right into the

middle

Of a clusterfuck, while this is happening there’s battling inside the mansion

Marcus regrets bringing his work home like Bryan Cranston

This is a right branston pickle, who’ll provide the answers?

While the science is downloading we rely on lancers

It’s time to pack your bags tighten up your do-rag

A futuristic 2Pac in a feudalistic gulag

New tactic — taking flight from the pursuit of this big Brumak

The damage is higher than the avarage price is of a new Mac

BOOM!

HOOAH!

We are the Gears of War

Come on and ask us what the motherfuck we’re here for!

BOOM!

HOOAH!

We are the Gears of War

Come on and ask us what the motherfuck we’re here for!

Now, act five, an act of desperation

There’s a cold train coming so they head to the station

They never had the patience for a first class pass

Besides, that carriage is reserved to carry the light mass

Pulses racing, they will need to bypass the whole bloody station

To survive upon the right track

Marcus and Dom get on with Cole and Baird behind

Crap, the final chapter’s not designed to happen like that!

It’s time to strike back

General RAAM is going down shafted like Skywalker’s right arm

Marcus sees the train is heading straight into a ridge

So he sets the light mass off and takes it to the bridge

Engine, engine, general RAAM

How do you like that light mass bomb?

When that train goes off the track

Sssskrak-a-rakk-a-rrrakkacratch one grub

BOOM, shake shake shake the room

BOOM, shake shake shake the room

BOOM, shake shake shake the room

Tick, tick, tick, boom

HOOAH!

We are the Gears of War

Come on and ask us what the motherfuck we’re here for!

BOOM!

HOOAH!

We are the Gears of War

Come on and ask us what the motherfuck we’re here for!
